My journey as a student/teacher of yoga and the many modalities of sound healing continues to evolve and transform. The Soul of Yoga Sound Institute is truly a gem. The variety of training modules and workshops offered at the Institute are top notch. The expertise and passion the facilitators bring to students is a testament to the quality of the program.

“This course is remarkable. Wah! shares a wealth of knowledge unique & applicable to nourish, replenish and rejuvenate every cell in my body! I recommend this course to anyone & everyone!” Essentials for Sound Healing course recommendation
Christine Steven’s passion for drumming, teaching and joyful spirit makes this class a must for anyone desiring to be a better drummer and sound healer.
The Soul of Yoga is part of my life since 2015 and the fact that they are now incorporating Sound Healing has simply brought a whole new A-HA to my life.
This year I have already taken many sound healing workshops and I can’t wait to start my 100 hour sound Healing certification soon. The latest one that I participated in, Yoga for the Voice, brought me confidence to sing out loud and use music daily not only for myself but to be a better person and make this World a better place by raising my vibration. Who doesn’t want to be around higher vibes right?
“I have been attending sound healing classes since 2015 with numerous teachers, but felt that I was still missing a lot of important information. When I came across the Soul of Yoga Sound Institute’s 100-hour program, I was all in. My technique improved significantly.. I learned about harmonics and playing my bowls with musicality. We learned techniques for sound healings for individuals, sound bath meditations for groups, teaching classes ourselves, and how to play online. I was fascinated by the art and science of sound healing. We also discussed all the possible locations to offer our events. Every single class was taught by talented, skilled, caring, and patient instructors with valuable information. I have a thriving personal practice with my clients, and offer events at yoga studios, schools, colleges, businesses, weddings, funerals, christenings, and private group meditations. Attending the Sound Institute was one of the best investments and experiences I have ever made!”
